What we need: More French and Italian fighters (REALLY want an updated c.205), more German bombers (He-111 :pray ), more British carrier fighters, and some additional tanks. (Char 35, anyone? ;) )

What we DON'T need: Moar dweebfires, BEE TWEENTAH NIEEEENZ

Spit Mk XII would be nice, I wouldn't mind if HTC were so nice as to add one. :rock

To be fair there are 5 F4u and 6 spitfires.   The spitfire IX had been in combat for 6 months before the f4u had seen any, yet the spitfire only has 1 more varient.

I think the Seafire counts as a 7th Spitfire variant, which makes it the aircraft with the most variants in AH.  The 109 saw combat years before the Spitfire but has less variants in the game, so no complaining please. :P

You maythink it's a spitfire varient all you wish, it clearly does not have the designation spitfire. ;)  The 109 saw combat years before the spitfire i admit, i'm more than happy for the 109B/D series to be modelled. :D

No, all we need is the ability to carry bombs on the Spit5.  If that were allowed, or even the option for 2x250lb on the Seafire, then all would be well in SpitLand. :aok

Your forgetting one -
Fair enough if you include the Seafire, Tempest, Tiffy and the Hurricanes you have a total of 11 British frontline fighters. Remember we were limited in resources so didn't have the luxury of developing and building lots of different aircraft.

So yes you would expect the major plane in the RAF frontline fighters to be the Spitfire series.

For me the perfect RAF Spit line up is -

I
Vb
Vc
IX
VIII
XII
XIV - doubles quite effectively for a 1943 LF IX or mid 44 LF IXe
XVI - free
F.21 - perked
Seafire LIIc or III (not current one)

10 variants that cover from 1940 through till the very last engagement of WWII.
More importantly every major development (XII was first use of the Griffon), and most manufactured Spits. Would also give the RAF a true 1945 based aircraft, the F.21. which it is lacking at the moment.

These with the other ones would give a total of 14 British frontline fighters.

Try adding up the German and U.S. frontline fighters. I believe the U.S. ones already stand at possibly over 20.

Considering the 109 AND 190 were the Spits main adversaries, you can't seperate them, they should be added together also. Add to them the Me262, Me163 the LW isn't that bad off either.

So its not quite as easy as saying there's 10 and thats enough.

Agreed. A few more spitfires would also make a lovely addition. :)

Give us back the 109G-10 and you can have any Spit you want that saw combat.

I am all for the Spit 7.  If we have to compromise on this decision let's consider the DUKW! :D

Expanding the plane set of those countries represented that have little in Aces High (Italy comes to mind) would be a prudent thing to do, along with remodeling the rest of the planes we already have (as HTC is already doing). Even with my next-to-no knowledge about how HTC does things, it makes sense that it simply takes a lot of time. Be patient. Seems people get stuck in the "I want what I want when I want it" mode.
